MOMENT OF SILENCE TODAY AT 11:00 AM

President Obama has requested that all Americans stop and observe a moment of silence today at 11:00 AM for those who lost their lives in the shooting in Arizona and for those who are still fighting for their lives.

We encourage all Judges to stop their court for a minute today and reflect on the public service and terrible loss of Chief Judge John M. Roll, who has served our country since 1992.

And of course the almost unspeakable tragedy of the cold blooded murder of 9 year old Christina Green. Born on 9/11/2001, her family has told us all that she was proud of adding a little joy to a terrible day.

Also murdered were Dorothy Morris (76); Phyllis Schneck (79); Dorwan Stoddard (76) and Gabriel Zimmerman (30) who was an aide to Congressman Gabrielle Giffords, who remains in critical condition.

A sad, sad day for the country and for the federal bench in Arizona.

For the past two years, many conservative leaders, activists, and media figures have made a habit of trying to delegitimize their political opponents. Not just arguing against their opponents, but doing everything possible to turn them into enemies of the country and cast them out beyond the pale. Instead of “soft on defense,” one routinely hears the words “treason” and “traitor.” The President isn't a big-government liberal—he's a socialist who wants to impose tyranny. He's also, according to a minority of Republicans, including elected officials, an impostor. Even the reading of the Constitution on the first day of the 112th Congress was conceived as an assault on the legitimacy of the Democratic Administration and Congress.

This relentlessly hostile rhetoric has become standard issue on the right.

Prayers from all of us in Miami.

We can only hope something like that does not happen here.

As one political hack said in the run up to the November election, "This is just the first salvo."
